Napa Valley History

Ms. Quintana CEO of Northern Napa Valley Winery Inc. was considering conducting business with Trans Continental stores to sell excess grapes from the 2008 harvest.

It depends on what types of products one plans to produce using the land. Since the winery business requires high investment in real property, it is important for one to make an investment decision on what market segment it wants to play in. Napa Valley is widely known as a good place for staring a vineyard and the land price is relatively higher than anywhere else in the US. The initial investment would affect the cost structure, which eventually drives up the price of wine. For example, budget wine consumption is very price sensitive and some competitors are trying to maintain their competitiveness with a lower price. If a company decides to produce wines from the winery in Napa Valley, soon, it would be forced to put a premium on the wine price to maintain a level of margin and ,eventually, the company would lose its competitive edge if it is a price player.

Viña San Pedro (VSP) was the third largest winery in Chile, with 1998 sales of 37 billion Chilean pesos (CP). Bonifacio Correa had planted the original vines with French stock in 1865 on the farm in Molina that the family had owned since 1701. For years, VSP wines enjoyed a reputation of being one of the finest in the country, and the vineyard remained in the Correa family until 1941. New owners expanded the vineyard so that by 1994, 1,150 hectares1 were in production, making it the largest single-site vineyard in the country. It was, however, barely profitable and survived primarily by producing inexpensive wines for the domestic market.
